How to hire a
bookkeeper
for your small
business
1. Find experts who use reputable financial software
Bookkeeping for small businesses start with the business, financial, or
accounting software you use. If you have not yet selected accounting
software, consider your budget, the program’s user experience, its
features and reporting capabilities and its scalability as your business
grows.
2. Check the bookkeeper's credentials
Unlike accountants, small business bookkeepers do not need higher
education or graduate degrees to do their job. However, there are
certifications and online bookkeeping courses that a bookkeeper can
complete to show their understanding and knowledge of bookkeeping,
basic accounting principles, industry knowledge, and financial software.
3. Meet to see if they're a good fit for you
You might be down to a few top candidates by this step in the hiring
process. Once your list is narrowed down to qualified providers of
QuickBooks bookkeeping services, you have to meet them. Whether it
happens online or in person, meeting your final contenders gives you an
opportunity to envision yourself working with each person.
4. Determine how much help you need
You are probably going into the bookkeeper hiring process with a rough
idea of what you need from the providers of QuickBooks bookkeeping
services. Common bookkeeping services include bringing books up to
date, setting up accounting software, categorizing transactions,
reconciling accounts, and closing the books.
5. Contract their services
Once you recognize your options, it is time to sign the deal. The
bookkeeper should have an agreement that clarifies exactly what services
they are providing, what you are responsible for, and the terms of the
relationship. Note what info you need to provide the bookkeeper and by
when, as well as how you can terminate the agreement if needed.
